This 2018 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 21,785 miles. While failures were promptly rectified, the low annual mileage and repeated tyre issues warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 21,785 miles by Oct 2021, then only 7,799 miles over 8 years (Feb 2026), indicating very low usage or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 30,579 miles over 8 years (Feb 2026), suggesting low usage or potential odometer fraud.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Feb 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate chronic wear or poor maintenance.
- Major failure for Nearside Rear Tyre cut (Oct 2021) followed by repeated advisories suggests a systemic issue.
- Major failure for Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint (Feb 2023) is a safety-critical suspension component.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-24, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- All 3 MOT failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day, demonstrating responsive ownership.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or steering after the initial failures.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
